The history of the 20th Century is the history of revolution and counter-revolution on a global scale.
After
the victory of the October revolution in 1917, the Bolsheviks
understood that only the success of the international revolution could
guarantee the continued existence of a workers government in Russia.
In
March 1919 the Communist International was formed as a means of
breaking the isolation of the socialist revolution. However, along with
the Stalinist degeneration within the Soviet Union came the
transformation of the Communist International from a weapon of the
international proletariat into a mouth-piece for the needs of the
Soviet bureaucracy.
With a clear Marxist leadership the course
of history could have been radically different. Come to the Marxist Day
School where we will discuss the lessons of the past, so as to be
better prepared for future events.
